Chopped Mexican Salad With Roasted Peppers, Corn, Tomatoes, And image

This is a great chopped salad recipe that appeared in the July '06 edition of Fine Cooking. The only change I've made is cutting the corn off the cob and pan roasting the kernels in a nonstick pan coated with cooking spray, rather than roasting the corn and then slicing them off the cob. It's very healthy, colorful, refreshing, and fun! Try this with Grilled Lime Shrimp #43737.

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 large orange bell peppers or 2 large red bell peppers
2 ears corn
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 garlic clove
kosher salt
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons honey, more to taste
3/4 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and finely ground
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
fresh ground black pepper
2 large tomatoes, cored, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch dice (firm-ripe)
1 small jicama, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425-degrees. Line baking sheet with foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over peppers and corn, rubbing in to vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast peppers about 20 minutes. Turn corn occasionally throughout cooking time. After roasting cut corn off cob and scrape skin off peppers. Dice peppers.
  • To make dressing, mince garlic and combine with salt to make a paste. Whisk with ingredients (lime juice through cumin). Slowly add oil, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble salad, artfully arrange corn, peppers, tomatoes, jicama, avocado, and black beans in stripes or piles on medium to large platter. Sprinkle with cilantro. The salad dressing may be drizzled onto salad before serving or you may serve separately, allowing each guest to top their salad with the dressing individually.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few extra peppers and tomatoes after making fajitas, and this is a great way to use them up. The salad is also really healthy and refreshing.
